In a major move, Virat Kohli, the RCB batter and the star Indian cricketer, removed all his paid promotional posts on his official Instagram account.
As of now, Kohli has removed all his promotional posts from his main feed and decided to store them in the reels section. Along with removing the promotional posts, he has removed his paid partnerships and advertisements from his main feed as well.
Kohli's official Instagram ID now only has videos from his workout session and pictures and photographs with his family, the Indian cricket team and the RCB team. He is among the most followed celebrities on Instagram. Currently, he has 271 million followers on Instagram Only Cristiano Ronaldo (651 million) and Lionel Messi (505 million) have a bigger fan following on Instagram than Virat Kohli.

So far neither Virat Kohli nor anyone else from his team has given an official confirmation about the development. This seems like a thoughtful action, as he always speaks about fitness and hence has distanced himself from any paid promotions as of now. His Instagram feed only now has videos from his personal ventures, which is his restaurant.
Two random fans on Instagram highlighted this move by Virat Kohli. One of them commented on a post about his restaurant and said "Ads moved to reels section, the feed look soo good". The other used reacted saying, "King Kohli removed all the advertisements in his account?".
